Chapter 169: Sea Song
As the Song of the Sea stopped sailing, the Star Leap also stopped.

People carefully observed the Song of the Sea. During the two years since it disappeared, Basin Island and Midi Kingdom sent out numerous search and rescue teams, but they were unable to find any trace of the Song of the Sea.

On the day the Song of the Sea disappeared, the sea was calm, there were no typhoons or rainstorms, and there were no reefs or icebergs on the sailing route.

There was nothing unusual except for a period of fog on the day of the voyage.

People have had many hypotheses about the existence of the Song of the Sea, such as that it encountered a huge ocean vortex and sank directly to the bottom of the sea; or that it accidentally entered a square similar to the Mille Migration Square and was trapped in it and unable to leave...

But the Song of the Sea that appeared in front of everyone at this moment had no signs of damage on its hull, and it did not look like it had ever encountered a shipwreck or was sailing in dangerous waters.

There was no sign of life on board, but the ship was brightly lit and had been sailing towards them just a few minutes ago.

There are no living people, so what is driving the boat?
Thinking of this, the passengers on the Star Leap subconsciously held their breath, as if the noise caused by their breathing would attract the attention of the ghost lurking on the Song of the Sea.

People avoided the sudden appearance of the Song of the Sea and urged the captain to leave quickly, but the captain insisted on staying close to the Song of the Sea.

"The ship's communication system is severely damaged. We must board the Sea Song and check if its communication system is usable. Even if it is not usable, we can remove the undamaged parts and try to use them to repair our communication system."

Faced with the reasons given by the captain, everyone was unable to refuse for a moment.

After a whole day of being stuck in a maze, everyone understood their situation very clearly.

Being trapped in the vast ocean and cut off from the outside world, if they continue like this, they might become the next Song of the Sea.

After a brief struggle, the passengers had no choice but to agree to the captain's decision.

But another problem arises.

Who is going?

Even the most courageous crew members did not dare to step into this strange ghost ship. While people were hesitating, Wu Chang had already had people build a simple deck and boarded the Song of the Sea.

After Wu Chang, Li Yubin followed closely. The Song of the Sea, which had disappeared for two years, concerned the lives of thousands of people and what exactly happened two years ago. As a reporter, she certainly would not miss such big news.

Seeing Wu Chang and Li Yubin board the Shanghai Song one after another, Park Changmin, who was the one who should appear to exorcise the devil, also pointed out five priests to go to the Sea Song to investigate.

Going to the ghost ship alone is seeking death, but if many people go there at the same time, it becomes an adventure.

Especially since Park Changmin kept saying that God would bless them, some of the brave passengers got on the boat in a rush.

Among these passengers, there are many Abyss game players.

With such a huge clue in front of them, they could no longer sit still and took advantage of the crowd to get on the boat.

Looking at the people who risked their lives to search the Song of the Sea, the crew members were moved and felt guilty. After feeling guilty, they turned around and looked at the maintenance engineers who felt as guilty as they did, and their brains went into a brief blackout.

"Wait, come back! You didn't bring the engineer with you!"

Wu Chang, who was the first to board the Shanghai Song, had already begun to investigate the situation on the ship.

He entered the cabin. There was a thick layer of dust on the floor and the table. There were no other traces on the ground except for his and several of his followers' shoe prints.

This place has been abandoned for a long time and no one has come in during this period.

His purpose was to investigate the resentment on the ship, so he passed the cargo hold and investigated the area where the passenger cabins were located first.

Entering the cabin area, the interior of the ship was in disarray, with tables and chairs scattered everywhere, as if a riot had taken place.

After taking a few steps, I saw a room near the corridor. The door of the room was violently destroyed and the room was in a mess. Dried black bloodstains could be seen on the ceiling and floor, as well as a hint of resentment that was so faint that it could dissipate at any time.

Wu Chang looked at the resentment, and the resentment turned into a ball of fire. The dancing flame brought him back to the day when the owner of the resentment died.

Flames, he looked through the window on the corridor and saw a huge flame burning on the deck.

People gathered around the fire, chanting strange incantations. It was not Gaomu language, nor Midi language, but a difficult language that sounded very ancient.

He couldn't understand them, but he somehow knew the meaning of the spells.

People are celebrating the food that the Lord has given them.

The crowd praying around the fire were all shirtless, and each one was so thin that their ribs were clearly visible when they straightened their chests and the protrusions of their spines when they bent over.

This is a symbol of endurance of hunger and fairness. The ship has been out of food for many days. People show their hunger and prove that they have not hidden food by stripping themselves naked.

Looking at everyone's skinny bodies, he suddenly tasted a delicious taste in his mouth, which was the taste of fish soup.

Following the taste in his mouth, a scene flashed through his mind. It was the day before yesterday, when the thin guy next door was so hungry that he took out the last quarter of a compressed biscuit from his pocket.

Before the thin man had time to digest the food, his slightly bulging stomach was noticed by everyone.

To punish the selfish sin of monopolizing food, people cut open the thin man, chopped up his internal organs and flesh, and scattered them into the sea for fishing.

The fish in this sea area seem to particularly like eating the flesh and blood of sinners.

The bait attracted dozens of large fish, but the people were too weak to catch them and only managed to catch four.

Four fish, shared by 1,300 people.

He was given a bowl of fish soup with a thumb-sized piece of fish in it.

He was sure that it was the most delicious fish he had ever eaten in his life, so delicious that just seeing the human body could remind him of the delicious taste.

He shook his head to wake himself up from his fantasy. He had to go because the men on the deck began to sharpen their knives.

The fish have finished eating and new bait is needed for fishing.

He hoped that he was not the chosen one because he could not die yet.

They tiptoed back to the room. On the wall of the room, forty-three vertical lines were carved with a razor blade, which represented that they had been trapped on the ship for forty-three days.

He picked up the bloody razor and was about to make the forty-fourth mark when the little boy lying on the bed noticed his return, opened his eyes, looked at him, and asked:

"Dad, have you distributed food today?"

He hesitated for a moment, took out a small piece of meat, and whispered, "It's ready, but you can't eat it now. Wait until the fish soup is ready tonight, and then mix it in the fish soup and drink it."

Boom, boom, boom.

This is the sound of the fishing team passing through the corridor.

Da da da.

This is the sound of someone knocking on the window.

He looked up and saw a man in a captain's hat, staring at them with a hideous grin on his face.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"No! You can't do this!" He panicked. He wanted to block the door, but the wound on his thigh was so painful that he was sweating just to stand, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Soon the door was broken down. He wanted to resist, but he had no strength to do so and was beaten until his head was bleeding.

The little boy was taken to the deck for stealing food and used as bait for today.

He was pushed directly into the kitchen. The captain looked at him, who was dying, and shook his head and said, "I said that all food must be shared with everyone on the ship."

The next moment, he was thrown into a huge soup pot.

As the image ended, Wu Chang's consciousness returned to the real world.

He sighed, what a sad story.

I experienced the man's experience in the first person, and the feeling was terrible, worse than all the strange ways of death in previous grievances.

That kind of badness comes from powerlessness and despair towards reality.

As an experience of resentment, the experience just now was not pleasant, but it revealed a lot of information.

First of all, with no one to rescue them, the Song of the Sea was trapped in this sea for at least forty-three days.

During this time, there was a character similar to Park Changmin on the ship. He and the captain gained control of the ship. They taught the passengers a difficult and strange prayer and asked people to recite it.

Although the owner of the resentment could not sense it, Wu Chang could sense from the short prayer that the strange prayers people were chanting were distorting their consciousness and causing the passengers to fall into depravity without knowing it.

Secondly, when trapped in the sea, hunger is the first problem to be faced.

The supplies on the ship are not enough to sustain thousands of people for more than forty days. Hunger can drive people crazy and make them lose their minds.

The good news is that there are fish in this sea, and they are big fish.

In the memory of the resentful owner, he once saw the fish that were caught. Those fish looked ferocious, and each one was three or four meters long. They liked to eat flesh and blood, and were very strong. It was difficult to catch them with ordinary fishing nets and fishing lines.

Although those fish look like they have drunk too much nuclear waste water from Pen Island, what actually affects them is occult pollution.

For ordinary people, that kind of fish is just delicious, but for him, it is a great tonic.

Wu Chang left the room and continued walking deeper into the cabin.

I encountered several more grievances along the way, and the scenes in the grievances were similar to the first one.

Half of them made mistakes, hiding food or stealing other people's food, and were used as bait by the captain.

The other half are mostly conflicts between each other.

Affected by hunger and strange prayers, the passengers on the ship became particularly irritable and aggressive.

He walked along the guest rooms to the end and came to the cabin hall.

There was a large red mark on the floor of the hall that looked like a pool of blood. This mark did not come from a single person, but, similar to the evil spirit in "Peace and Happiness Every Year", it came from a group.

Wu Chang looked down at the mark under his feet, only to see a vortex forming in the blood pool, swallowing his consciousness into it.

When I came to my senses, the perspective had changed to third person, and I was on the ceiling of the hall, overlooking the area below.

In the center of the hall, more than a hundred people were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied with cable ties.

The composition of these people is very complex. Among them, there are crew members, soldiers, strong men dressed like ordinary people, and many young people who look like college students.

Each of them had injuries on their bodies, and it seemed that they had been beaten before being controlled.

The captain of the Song of the Sea led a group of crew members and seventy or eighty believers of the New Universe Sect and surrounded them in the center. They were holding steel pipes and knives in their hands, and some of them were carrying guns.

Judging from the status of both sides, what happened on the field seemed to be a failed uprising.

The leader of the losing party, who was apparently the first mate on the ship, was beaten with blood all over his face, but he still refused to give in and yelled at the captain:
"Zheng Chengxun, you bastard, are you crazy? This group of perverts are deliberately provoking conflicts and making us kill each other. You cooperate with them, do you really think they will let you go later?!"

The captain of the Song of the Sea shook his head. "Chanyu, who taught you to talk to your seniors like that? Who of you can teach this bastard some etiquette?"

A crew member walked up to the first mate and swung a steel pipe at his face. The blow was so fierce that it knocked out two of the first mate's front teeth.

But the first mate just sneered, spat out the teeth in his mouth, and continued to curse with his leaky teeth.

The captain picked his ears, a little impatient.

He looked at the other losers in the field and said with a smile: "You are all heretics who question my Lord. Logically speaking, you all have to die. Do you know, burning at the stake, impalement, hanging, torture platform, or Iron Maiden, which one do you want to choose?"

"Have you ever been to the warehouse on the first floor? Bishop Park knew he would run into a damned heretic, so he specially reproduced a full set of props for interrogating heretics. The history of these props can be traced back to the Middle Ages."

The captain took a deep breath and a happy smile appeared on his face, as if he couldn't wait for the show that was about to begin.

"When they tore you apart bit by bit, you were able to feel the weight of history and the accumulation of thousands of years of religion. Compared to dying at the hands of soulless weapons like swords and guns, you were so much happier."

Most of the rebels were young people who were inspired by the first mate and joined the rebellion on the spur of the moment.

After their resistance failed and their passion cooled, they began to regret and feel afraid. Now, hearing the captain's words, they were even more frightened.

If they had known this would happen, they would rather die in battle like their other companions than stay here until now.

Seeing everyone trembling, the captain's expression became even more satisfied.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance to reform and join us."

As he said this, he threw a dagger to the ground and kicked it into the crowd. He pointed at the first mate and said:

"If you want to turn over a new leaf, you must bathe in the blood of the heretic. Kill him, and you can join us."

The next moment, people were scrambling for the dagger like crazy.

A few minutes later, a burly bald man from the double-door team snatched the dagger from the crowd, held it with both hands, and stabbed it into the first mate's chest.

The first mate fell to the ground and died on the spot.

The captain waved his hand and motioned the strong man to come over. He cut off the restraints on the strong man's hands and said with a smile: "Welcome to join us."

A man with a flat head who lost to the strong man in the knife fight said, "What about us?"

The captain gave the crew a signal, and the crew understood what he meant. They took out a bag and poured out more than a dozen daggers.

"I just said that if you want to turn over a new leaf, you must bathe in the blood of heretics. You guys take your time, and in the end only half of you will be able to walk out of this hall."

As he spoke, the captain moved a chair and sat down, ready to enjoy the upcoming fight. As soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered something and shouted:
"and many more!"

Everyone looked at him with hope, thinking that he had a change of heart and things would turn around, but the captain said:
"Your sins are too great, so I've changed my mind. I only want a quarter. The survivors will be responsible for collecting the blood. The blood cannot be wasted. We are still short of two hundred portions of blood for the ritual."

The scene of resentment ended here. Wu Chang came to his senses and a line of bloody last words appeared in front of him.

【Kill the Captain! 】

Wu Chang looked at the bloody last words in front of him and was speechless. No, where can I find the captain of the Song of the Sea who killed you?
If it really doesn't work, I'll kill the captain of the Star Leap and burn it to the ground for you. Can you put up with it?

Anyway, they are all captains and are in cahoots with the New Universe Sect.

Just as he was trying to negotiate with the resentment, he was inspired and felt the fluctuation of mystical energy below.

Below them, it looked like someone was fighting.
